Fiona’s research focuses on the impact of gender reform efforts during periods of restructuring and institutional change, addressing the extent to which global and local institutions of politics and governance may be designed or reformed to address gender inequality and promote gender justice.

Her academic thinking and writing focuses mainly on the ethics and politics of work in a global context. In particular, she is interested in the role of difference (primarily, race and gender) in the emergence and distribution of new forms of work. More recently, she has been thinking about the eugenicist underpinnings of discourses on technology.

Meryl’s research interests bridge the intersection of gender politics, party politics, territorial politics, and institutional approaches to the study of politics.

Her research is concerned with histories of women and gender in modern Britain, as well as with histories of policing and surveillance, crime, deviancy, childhood, youth and sexuality.
